Intestinal epithelial cells absorb glucose from the lumen even when intracellular glucose concentration is higher. This process relies on a sodium gradient established by the Na⁺-K⁺ pump. Which mechanism BEST explains glucose uptake in this scenario?  

During a stressful situation, the sympathetic nervous system is activated. Heart rate increases, pupils dilate, and glucose is released into the bloodstream. Which hormone MOST directly supports this metabolic response?
